The Rainbow is a wonderful order for
girls; the influence at this time of their
lives is beautiful; the girls are super
vised by a board of five men and
women, and mother adviser Mrs. Nellie
Muir. Not only is the influence helpful,
but it assists the girls in acquiring
poise and executive and has the whole
Masonic fraternity behind and inter
ested in it.
Jane Yergen, o f this district, will be
next Worthy adviser.
